4th of July, 2010

Zoey loves her school. Everyday she wakes up and asks if we're going to school! This is a little project that they did for the 4th of July. It's been hanging on our fridge since because we think she looks so cute! She loves to come up and point to herself!


We didn't really make any plans for the 4th of July. Clay and I were both busy with work and getting things ready for a 2 week vacation left for right after the 4th so we didn't plan much. On the 3rd Clay went into work and called us to see if we wanted to come and see the fireworks from his work. It turns out his office is on the street where everyone parks and watches the Addison fireworks. It was very last minute but I'm glad we went.
We left early to avoid traffic as much as possible so we ended up sitting in the break room at Daddys work for an hour or so before we went to find us a seat. It wasn't too bad though because I brought the portable DVD player and Zoey just watched a movie while we waited.
We then went out to the parking lot next door and found us a spot all by ourselves. The view was a little obstructed by buildings so we know better for next time but it was fun none the less.
Zoey kept pointing to them and calling them diamonds (like twinkle twinkle little star). For weeks afterwards she kept asking to go see the fireworks again because she wanted to see Diamonds! Though it was last minute it was fun and we will probably go back next year. Oh, and the best part, bathrooms! Since we were right by the office we didn't have to worry about where the bathrooms were and how far away we were from them. This is great with a two year old who was just recently potty trained!
